Synthesis and characterization of iron oxide nanotubes via the hydrothermal method

The hydrothermal process is a method that is capable of producing high purity iron oxide nanostructures. In this research, the effects of varying concentration, time and reactant ratio were investigated. The equipments used in characterization include the X-ray diffraction and Field Emission Scannin...
